Zoe Bell returned, slipped out of her evening gown, removed her makeup, and, after bathing, put on her pajamas. When she emerged, she found William Hale sitting by the bed, a laptop on his knees, typing away.
Upon seeing her, he said, "I've called a doctor for you. Do you want to receive the IV in the bedroom, or should we set up in the living room?"
Zoe Bell was stunned.
Her legs were indeed in severe pain, probably due to wearing high heels, and it was worse than ever before.
She thought she'd take some painkillers and endure through the night, expecting to feel better when the day cleared.
She had already troubled William Hale too much and wanted to handle what she could on her own without involving him.
Unexpectedly...
He understood it all.
William Hale glanced at her and said, "Get ready; I'll have her come to the bedroom in ten minutes."
